Title: Unlocking the Hidden Drivers of Ecosystems with the Ohio State
University’s centralized Microbiome Platfrom
Abstract: Microbes once ‘hidden’ are now thought ‘drivers’ in most ecosystems, and yet understanding complex communities to the point of modulating microbiomes and ecosystem function remains a grand challenge. This talk explores modern microbiome science and how Ohio State is uniquely positioned with a centralized Microbiome Platform to apply genome-resolved microbiome data generation and eco-systems biology analytics approaches to easily integrate microbiome research into your programs. Critically, these capabilities enable such microbiome research, so commonly limited to “correlation” to advance towards “causation and mechanism”. Through this unique Microbiome Platform, Ohio State is playing a leading role in helping build mechanistic and predictive understanding critical to transitioning microbial communities from ‘dysbiotic’ or ‘diseased’ states back towards ‘healthy’ in plants, animals (including humans, corals, and more), soils, oceans, and beyond.
